1. I give you...

classic movies, re-enacted in 30 seconds, by bunnies. Hint: "War of the Worlds", "Highlander", "Alien" and "The Shining" are my personal favorites.

enjoy. :D

[Joe Fields]

2. Thanks. I'll take them. I was beginning to think the only sympathy

around here was for the devil.

[Broken_Hero]

3. ............

:spray:

Awesome link! Bookmarked......:D

[Adsos Letter]

4. Glad you enjoyed it ! I don't remember who turned me on to it

but I'm just warped enough to find them entertaining. :hi: :D

[Joe Fields]

7. yep. thanks. It helped. Although a couple of bourbons, and a muscle

relaxer wouldn't hurt either.:(

[Adsos Letter]

12. Been there...you have our sympathy.

[Joe Fields]

18. Thanks. really need it. Got issues. No tissues...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Joe Fields]

[idgiehkt]

24. John Philip Sousa?

(with llamas?)

A friend of mine swears by his marches...when she gets sad she plays these and marches around her house like a drum major.

:rofl:

[Joe Fields]

28. you are truly warped, but loveable!

:pals:

[idgiehkt]

[Joe Fields]

51. That frog has moves that I've never seen before...

6. This photo is a tried-and-true cheerer upper.

The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger's brother, Barley, begging at my patio door:

[fizzgig]

10. eeep!

i love that picture :rofl:

[Heidi]

13. Me, too,

and I also love that cat. (Try as I might to turn him away every morning, I cannot say, "No," to his pathetic little face. :rofl: )

[fizzgig]

27. who could say no that face?

:rofl:

[idgiehkt]

11. I remember this!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Heidi]

14. He's a dork, isn't he?

:rofl: But he's Ginger's brother, and I love him. :rofl:

[Joe Fields]

20. Who could resist that face? Thanks...

:hi:

[marzipanni]

57. Heidi... please... loosen... my... collar... KAAAK!

(or have I forgotten how skinny cats' necks can look when they stretch out/up? :shrug:)

[Heidi]

58. Hahahahahaha!

He's my sister-in-law's cat. I'm not sure why she put a miniature, bright pink collar on him, but it sure does make his belly look big in comparison, doesn't it? :rofl:

Hi, marzipanni! How ya been? :hug:

[marzipanni]

59. Well, at least his belly won't get bigger from swallowing birdies

they wouldn't get past that stricture in his gullet! :rofl:

I'm ok, and I hope you are that, or better!

Once one of my house mates and I were concerned that one of the two household kitties was making a sort of squealing, wheezing sound ...hairball?...from downstairs. Upon tiptoeing downstairs to locate the source of the sound, we nearly burst out laughing when we determined that our rather new house mate had a young girlfriend in his room and, well, I'll let you guess what the sound was...

[AlCzervik]

8. ok, here you go

i love this site, it always makes me laugh.

[Joe Fields]

22. Thanks. I liked the pic of the kitty that wurkd too hard.

Hope it didn't hit the alt/del...

9. asshat

[Joe Fields]

25. That made me think of one of my favorite places...

Oatman, AZ. Except it is burros that are allowed to freely roam the streets.

[NMDemDist2]

49. glad to help

:hi:

[Redstone]

15. I'm up at 2 AM because I can't sleep because the pain in my shoulder is like someone

stabbing it with a hot soldering iron, and no amount of narcotics will even take the edge off the pain.

If you're up this late because of something else, maybe this information will help you feel good by comparison.

Redstone

[Heidi]

19. .

Redstone -> here's a not-too-hard :hug: I hope the pain subsides enough that you can get some rest soon.

[Redstone]

23. Heidi! Damn, girl, I was just wondering if I'd run into you because I'm here so late at night.

You're reading my mind again, aren't you?

How's everything been for you and CMW lately? Good, I hope.

Redstone

[Heidi]

26. I hab a code id by dose.

Had to sleep in a hotel with air conditioning Monday night, then sit on a plane Tuesday night next to "subwud with a code id his dose" and I guess I caught his cold. But I heal up quickly, as I hope you do, too, friend. :hug:

[Redstone]

30. Ack! Airplanes are second only to hospitals for good places to get infected. Here's my cold cure:

Take a pint glass (or the metric equivalent).

Fill halfway with Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey (or brandy will do if you're in Europe).

Fill remainder of glass with orange juice. Drink.

The orange juice will provide the Vitamin C you need, and the booze will knock you out so you get the sleep you need to heal.

I'll be better in a day or two, thank you; the problem tonight is that it's 38 degrees (or the metric equivalent) out tonight and raining, which always guarantees that I'll have a case of The Miseries.

But hey, it ain't cancer or a heart problem, so I'll live.

Redstone

[Heidi]

32. I guess white wine and orange juice wouldn't work, would it?

Heidi <- perceives all hard liquor as paint thinner. :rofl:

[Redstone]

36. Well, that's because most of it does taste like paint thinner. The secret is to drink

the medicinal concoction REALLY FAST. Not only to get past the taste, but also because it knocks you onto your ass that much more quickly.

And sleep is the Great Healer, as you know.

Redstone

[Heidi]

38. I'll wait until a little later in the day,

then as CMW or my mother-in-law to pick up some paint thinner grappa for me. If I combine grappa with an evening of watching "Dr. Zhivago" on DVD, I could probably sleep until Sunday. :7

[Redstone]

42. There you go! Feel better, OK?

Redstone

[Heidi]

46. Thanks, Redstone.

Sweet dreams. :pals:

[Heidi]

47. Thanks, Redstone.

Sweet dreams. :pals:

[Redstone]

50. Yes, it's time I head upstairs for another attempt at sleep. See you next time.

Redstone

[Joe Fields]

31. Here's a cyberhanky. Go ahead and blow.

Feel better?:)

[Heidi]

33. I'm too stobbed up to blow by dose!

x( :cry:

[Joe Fields]

29. Sorry to hear that. Did you just have surgery, or do you need it?

Have a couple of those type issues myself, but tonight it's relationship issues. No doc could fix my problem.

[Redstone]

35. Two failed surgeries. The first caused the problem that the second was supposed to correct,

and the second didn't. So I'm left with nerve damage and RSD. It's been a ten-year journey since the surgeries, with the original damage going back to 1972.

Thanks for asking.

Didn't want to sound like I was complaining, or making light of the fact that you got de Blues tonight. Just that nights like tonight, I tend to bitch and moan.

You don't need no doctor for relationship stuff. Only time. And sympathy from your DU pals, which never seems to be in short supply; great bunch of folks around here.

Redstone

[MsKandice01]

37. Butting in here...

Sorry to hear you're in pain, Redstone. :hug:

[Redstone]

41. Butt in any old time you'd care to, MsK! And why are YOU up in these wee hours of the night

yourself? Do you work nights, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for your kind words.

Redstone

[MsKandice01]

44. It's just about midnight here...

And I've got a touch of insomnia. I've been so exhausted all day everyday for the past couple weeks because I have trouble sleeping at night but it seems like the minute the clock strikes 10:00 p.m., I'm wide awake and full of energy. I got tired of laying in bed watching old Sanford & Son episodes so I decided to come see what was going on here at DU.

And no, I don't work nights. I've got to be at work tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.

[Redstone]

48. Watching Redd Foxx would keep me awake, because I'd be laughing so hard. I remember,

back in the 1960s (I'm old) listening to his "party records" in which he really cut loose; it would have been good if he had lived long enough to do his standup stuff on cable TV...

Hope things level off for you soon.

Redstone

[MsKandice01]

54. You're not old!!

You're just mature. :)

I love the show. By this point, I've seen every episode at least 4 or 5 times but I still watch it, if not for the comedy, but for the nostalgia factor.

I'll be fine though. I'll have the house all to myself this weekend and I plan to spend a LOT of time napping throughout the day.

[Joe Fields]

52. You are a great bunch of folks. And I don't mind listening, either.

Had shoulder surgery in '98. It's not as good as it once was, but can't compare to yours.

[libodem]

40. yikes...I have hot pokers in my new back hardware

hurts like a bitch, but I swear I am not opening up the package of Fentenyal patches...I'm trying to get by with Norco, Vicodin, Gabapenten, and muscle relaxers. I came home form the hospital wearing a patch but I was having such wringing wet sweats. Not that I minded loosing the 10 lbs but in a week I had that heroin abuser look with the hollow eyes and dark circles. Not attractive.

[Redstone]

45. I did the Fentanyl patches for a while, until I found out that the side effect if you

tear one by accident is that you stop breathing and die.

I'll take the pain instead, thank you very much.

But let's talk about YOU for a minute. If the patch was giving you the sweats, the dosage was too strong. Be VERY careful, please.

And the "hardware?" A scoliosis rod, if you don't mind me asking? I know a coupld of women who have had those put in, and from what I understand, it's excruciating.

I do hope you get better soon, and after hearing what you're going through, I'll stop pissing and moaning about my little problem right now.

Redstone

[Joe Fields]

53. what back hardware?

[MsKandice01]

39. I wish I had something to help you...

Just wanted you to know you're not alone. Tonight is a yucky night for me as well.

[Joe Fields]

55. Sorry you got da blues too. But...misery loves company. Thanks...

[libodem]

43. I keep thinking it could be worse

and know there are people out there worse off than me. Sorry you are blue. I'm a whiner.:)

[Joe Fields]

56. You're so right. And it's not like me to feel sorry for myself.

Sometimes though....I think we all have a right to complain every now and then. Sorry you're having to go through what you're going through. Thanks so much for the support.
